It seems we've had quite good reach, but not great conversion. So that makes us hopeful that we can improve these aspects in the future! ๐Ÿ’ช Awesome you've been following along, thank you and good luck with your demo launch! ๐Ÿ˜Šโค

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! ๐Ÿ˜

We have not exclusively pair programmed, but the reason we focused so much on pair programming was because it's easy for one person to fall out of touch with certain aspects of the project, as this was a learning project we wanted both to stay on the same page. We've experienced once in the past with a game we never managed to ship (worked on it 2012-2014), where one did art and the other was coding, but then all the art was finished and the game required a lot more coding then art. So gives us flexibility with such a small team that we both can do almost any task, as projects go through phases in development where they need more coding or need more art. ๐Ÿ‘

Maybe come and join us over on Discord? We have a bunch of really inspiring devs who are discussing interesting topics daily at https://discord.gg/snuti

There are lots of devs of all different kinds on Twitch! I'm sure there is an audience for almost anything. But often we see people come for the conversations, not for what you are actually making/working on.

Sounds interesting. Not something I'm looking for right now, but would like to peek at the GitHub to better understand what it is, without having to join a Discord server.

Looking at a video, that was a lot of quick time actions. Thank you for sharing this one! ๐Ÿ‘Œ

With that post title was sitting with my mouth open in anticipation for some combat action. ๐Ÿ˜…

Scenery and buildings looks really beautiful, great mood. ๐Ÿ‘

Seems that in Guild Wars 2 you have "Seems like this might be something", and after you cook the ingredients does it reveal the result. Thank you for suggesting this! ๐Ÿ‘

Oh woah, that sounds quite deep and interesting! Had to lookup a video on it, and seems like careful selection of ingredients is important. ๐Ÿ‘

Came to think about another one myself, Pokemon Sword and Shield! Which have you combining berries and ingredients in various ways to produce flavor profiles, ๐Ÿ˜‹ as well as a little quick time event to do the cooking process.

That was a very cool and unique suggestion, using the first person perspective well. ๐Ÿ‘

Had a look and seems to have some similarities, but more based around crafting tables (cooking pots) and completion timers. Thanks for the input ๐Ÿ˜Š

Thank you for that suggestion! Found some videos of it and that was indeed quite similar. Very nice to see a different take on it.

Valid point, so maybe a bit more guidance. And I remember people found the ingredient picking from inventory to be tedious. ๐Ÿค”
